    S0789 Political Ephemera, Campaign Posters And Bumper Stickers, 1930s-2008 This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. St. Louis political activist Ben Senturia donated the collection in November 2008. Senturia, an ardent environmentalist and supporter of the Democratic Party, advised some of the candidates represented in the collection. SCOPE AND CONTENT The Political Emphemera collection contains posters and bumper stickers collected by Senturia, largely from the 1970s through the present with a few from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1960s. Most posters support political candidates standing for office in the state of Missouri or its political subdivisions. The remainder support presidential and vice-presidential candidates. Topical posters advocate or oppose propositions to enact state and local laws, or support particular social issues. Most relate to Missouri or St. Louis. The posters are listed in the order they appear in the boxes. BOX 1 (On Site Oversize) "On Tuesday It's McNary." (Rep.) (Gene McNary, for St. Louis County Supervisor.) 1974.

(photo courtesy of Norma Maier) 32 OFFICIAL MANUAL Jeremiah W. (Jay) Nixon Governor Elected November 4, 2008 Term expires January 2013 JAY NIXON (Democrat) is serving his fi rst term as governor of Missouri. Garnering the highest margin of victory for a non- incumbent governor in 44 years, Nixon was overwhelmingly elected by Missourians as their 55th governor to create jobs and move the state forward. Governor Nixon has put forward an agenda to make govern- ment more effi cient, effective and responsive to the needs of Missouri families. He is committed to fi ghting every day to create jobs in Missouri, holding the line on taxes and placing a college education within reach for more Missouri students. As he did in the state Senate and during four terms as attor- ney general, Governor Nixon is reaching across the aisle to put Missouri families fi rst. He successfully worked with the legislature to pass several jobs initiatives to put Missourians back to work, including a bill to bring next-generation automotive production to Missouri. Nixon’s call to reform Missouri’s drunk-driving laws resulted in changes to keep repeat offenders off the road. Governor Nixon has led the fi ght for families with children with special needs, including the successful push to require insurance companies to cover proven treatments for autism disorders, as well as the creation of Partnership for Hope, which is helping provide community-based services to those with developmental disabilities.
